Dressed as a runaway wife from the 1960s

When Huo Xiao returned home, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Li Ting had already taken a nap. Seeing the man covered in mud, she suddenly lost her sleepiness and sat up distressed.

"Did I wake you up?" Huo Xiao had tried his best to move lightly, but he still woke his wife.

Ruiting put on her shoes and went downstairs. She touched her husband's hand and found it was icy cold. She whispered, "There is hot water in the pot and on the coal stove. Take a shower first and soak for a while. I'll send the clothes over later."

Huo Xiao: "No, give me the clothes and go back to sleep."

Hearing this, Ruiting, who was rummaging through the clothes, turned around and glared at him, insisting, "I'll get them for you! Go take a bath quickly and don't get sick."

Huo Xiao wanted to say that he wouldn't get sick. He had even crawled in the snow before, not to mention the spring with a temperature of more than ten degrees above zero.

But seeing the heartache in his wife's eyes, he softened his heart and finally didn't refuse.

After giving the clothes to her husband, she watched him fill the bathtub obediently before leaving.

However, she did not go to bed immediately, but went to the kitchen.

Huo Xiao had been very busy these days, so she asked her mother-in-law to ask the quartermaster to get two chickens.

Unfortunately, two chickens were still too few. The pot was already the last meal. She had to get something good tomorrow, otherwise her body would not be able to withstand such high-intensity training every day.

Thinking about things in her heart, she did not stop her hands. After putting the two steamed buns left over from the night in the steamer to heat them up, she sat next to the stove and started to light the fire to heat the chicken soup.

When Huo Xiao came out of the bathroom with a lazy look on his face and a warm body, Ru Ting, who was always paying attention to her husband's movements, also brought the food to the table.

Seeing this, Huo Xiao walked quickly to the table and sat down.

Ru Ting handed the chopsticks to her husband, picked up the towel he hung on the chair handle, and prepared to help him wipe his hair.

"No, I'll do it right away." Huo Xiao stretched out his hand and pulled his wife to sit next to him.

After the people sat down, he did not let go, but put his clasped hands on his legs, and then picked up a steamed bun with his other hand and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Seeing him wolfing down his food, Li Ting felt even more distressed: "Eat slower."

After so many years of military career, Huo Xiao had long been accustomed to such a speed of eating, but knowing that his wife was reluctant to leave him, he also slowed down.

Seeing water droplets sliding down her husband's neck, Li Ting stood up and took a towel to help wipe it twice: "How long will the training last?"

Huo Xiao: "Two more days, the training later will not be so intense, and the soldiers still have to be in the best condition to receive the transfer order at any time."

Li Ting pursed her lips: "Do you think you will be transferred to our unit?"

Hearing this, Huo Xiao paused for a moment before saying: "Probably not."

Ling Ting sat back on the stool, holding his head and asked: "What do you mean?"

Huo Xiao: "We are not in the same military region as a certain island. If the transfer order is really issued to us, it will be a national war..."
